Haas urges peers to name names in match-fixing claims

AP , BERLIN

Tommy Haas said it was time his tennis peers named names after an unidentified German player accused another of match-fixing during a television interview.

Talk of match-fixing has swirled around tennis for weeks, with the latest accusation by the unnamed German, whose voice was electronically distorted, telling WDR television he was approached by another to place a five-figure bet for him.

The man also said more money could be earned by players through bets than winning matches.

Some German tennis officials and players, including 11-year pro Haas, were skeptical toward Sunday's interview, however.
